SARAJEVO, BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA — As Bosnian Serb, Croat and Muslim negotiators prepared to resume peace talks in Geneva today, the leaders of Bosnia's Parliament called Sunday on the United States and NATO to enforce any peace agreement that might come from the negotiations.

The mostly Muslim Bosnian Parliament has rejected the latest United Nations peace proposal, which calls for reorganizing this country into a loose union of three ethnic republics.

The Bosnian Parliament demanded that the peace plan be amended to provide for the return from Serbian military control of at least eight districts that had Muslim-majority populations before the Serbs forcibly expelled them.

The group wants the districts to be attached to a proposed Muslim-dominated republic.

The Parliament also demanded international guarantees that the plan would actually be carried out.
